After more than 20 years in audio production and editing, nearly a decade in team management, and two years as editorial and creative lead at Pushkin Industries, I’m taking a year to be a student (let’s talk about games, grief, G*d) while taking on a few special projects.
I’ve been part of talented teams making podcasts across formats and scales: deeply reported narrative series, weekly interview shows about big ideas, ear-catching pilots, and norm-bending audio experiments.
I’ve worked with all sorts of people: seasoned hosts, experienced print reporters newly on mic, comedians, influencers, academics, audio artists, and all sorts of producers at various career stages.
These days, I'm working with creative teams who are dedicated to thoughtful, rigorous, and playful projects.
And I've been reflecting on the projects that I'm particularly proud to have had a hand in. Here are some examples:
As the editor of Revisionist History, I helped to shape this series examining moral blindness and the human capacity to normalize evil—rigorous, unsettling, occasionally absurd, and deeply resonant.
I edited this deeply reported investigation into a Dublin crime family that grew into a global cocaine supercartel, revealing how shadow economies intersect with governments worldwide. The series sparked a bidding war for film rights.
A funny and fascinating romp through the history of business. I worked closely with Jacob Goldstein to develop Pushkin’s first video podcast, which is dropping a new episode (almost) every week.
I edited this generous, searching series about how Fred Rogers’ philosophy might apply to contemporary adult life. Editing this show required emotional precision, patience, and trust. It remains a touchstone for me.
I worked with the hosts and TED to develop this wonderful show about making our work lives better. Anne and Frances are world class leadership coaches, and also married (very couple goals!). Together we created a show that makes the most of their chemistry, insight, and passion for helping people find actionable solutions to their work woes.
I edited this sweeping narrative tracing the roots of Trumpism to the federal government’s response to the 2008 financial crisis. Big, politically charged storytelling with a complex structure and a high reporting bar.
I produced this piece for the New Yorker Radio Hour, and continue to treasure it. I shaped the episode, selected all music and archival audio, and worked in close collaboration on the script. As a lifelong Cohen fan, I was especially moved to explore questions of faith, purpose, and legacy in what became his final farewell.
